I hope OP doesn't mind but I had a shark fin aerial fitted to my Mark 5 here in Ireland. The reception is awful!
Does anyone have any advice? Would an upgraded radio unit help? Could a better aerial be fitted to the rear windscreen?
Cheers

Hi, I don’t know if this will help or not but but on the rear of the head unit you should have A (twin fakka )two FaKka radio connections Which are green in colour :one for the roof aerial/ sharks fin and another to the aerial in the tailgate this could possibly be a booster for the main aerial .

Thank you!
I bought this aerial

There's a chance that the item is not the best quality too :grin:
I'm trying to source a good one, so if anyone knows of where to find one, that would be great :)

Car looks great. Always fancied a white gti but ended up buying a black one. And after me saying never buy another black car.

Another small update ... managed to find some time to get My new R32 310mm rear brakes fitted unfortunately I have been forced to do It Due to a seized rear caliper so did not have time to paint before fitting that being said so much better than the original junk.

All fitted what a massive difference. Also fitted Hel lines and new hard pipes the caliper bolts came out without any problems they just need a lick of paint now..
